Street Smart - arcade demo - SNK 1989

Street Smart, a co operative fighting game brawler. Made by SNK Corporation in 1989 as a dedicated arcade cabinet, before the MVS came out. I think I remember seeing this in the arcades back then. It was notable how huge the character sprites are. That's what made it stood out against other games at the time.

This is amazing for '89!

@TwilightArts Yeah the sprite character are huge. What the video does not represent well is that the animation is smooth too.

I used to love this game in the arcade. Now I have with MAME and I couldn't ask for any more nostalgia than that.

@puertorock1976 I looks awesome playing in the arcade cabinet back in the day. The sprite characters are huge!

No, Jeff Bogard is a guy in a blue Kung Fu attire with a moustache.

He looks asian.

Takuma and Jeff Bogard are the main characters of this game.

The music in this stage is the same used in the Michael Max's stage in Fatal Fury.

@leonard316 the game takes place across the US in cities like San Francisco, Washington DC, and Miami (or is it Daytona Beach?)

@JBY2005 he also reminds me of Scott "Big Poppa Pump" Steiner

First fighting game by SNK and the first fighting game where normal moves can be part of a string of combos. The combo system is simple, but it is the first of its kind. Street Smart is also the first fighting game with co-operative play.

It will soon be released in SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 0.

@narox Very big sprites indeed for 1989
